Beautiful Poinsettia

Welcome

Today's card features this lovely new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called 

Beautiful Poinsettia

I used it in a bit of a different way.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and got out the largest stamp from the Simon Hurley Paint Swatches stamp set.  This is what it looks like:  
  
  
  
• I inked up the stamp pictured above well using some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink, then pressed it onto the Beautiful Poinsettia stencil which transferred the pattern onto the stamp.  I stamped that onto the center of my white cardstock.
• When it was dry, I rubbed over the whole panel with a anti-static powder tool.  This step is important so you don't end up with embossing powder sticking everywhere.
• I took the stencil and positioned it back into place over the stamped image and rubbed some Versamark ink over that, trying to stay inside the stamped areas.  I used some white embossing powder to emboss the flower.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• Finally, I added a pre-printed sentiment with some foam tape, over the flower.

Here is the stencil I used:
